A cute little bear which I believe is a Dutch bear recognizable by his nose and smiley mouth.  Though Polish bears are similar their mouth usually has a less happy smile and are firmly stuffed with wood wool and the plush is usually curlier (like the little brown one in the cabinet in the last photo).  

 

This chubby little fellow is c 8.5 inches tall and his head is firmly stuffed with wood wool and the rest softer so probably kapok.

 

 

He has little glass eyes and black sewn nose and mouth.  

 

His fur has some dust marks which I have tried to capture in the photos, though if the flash fired he looks like new and in dull light he looks dirtier than he is!  It depends which way the light hits him  I would say the first photo is the best resemblance.  He could do with a surface wash, but I will leave that to you, hence just 99p start  :)

 

 

As you can see little bear displays well amongst a selection of my art silk/cotton plush bears and he doesn’t take up much room.  :)
